Professional MMA fight for Terrence Chan

Wednesday, 21 March 2012

The subtitle to Terrence Chan'sblog is “Follow me as I play poker and look for new ways to get punched in the face”. We're used to doing the former via the Two Plus Two Pokercast and at a variety of high profile tournaments and will be able to do the latter later this month as Chan takes to the Mixed Martial Arts ring.

The Candian pro announced via Twitter yesterday that he will be taking part in a pro contest in the Legend Fighting Championship at the Asia World Expo in Hong Kong on March 30.

According to the man himself, his opponent is, “bigger, stronger, taller (by about 5 inches!), more experienced and who, being HK born-and-bred, will likely be the crowd favourite too.” An he's doing this for fun!

Anyone wanting to watch the contest can do so on YouTube at 11am UK time on 30th April.
